Street sweeping has been under way here in Columbia for a few weeks, but not on a regular basis and the little police vehicle, which follows the sweeper, hasn't been seen.
It was explained at Monday's borough council meeting, the person who normally follows the street sweeper has been assigned to other duties, but that is changing.
At Monday's meeting, council responded to questioning about the vehicle after being questioned by resident Frank Doutrich.
"He is doing work as a parking enforcement officer and crossing guard," said Council President Mary Wickenheiser.
But Monday, council took steps to hire additional employees so that the eployee, who follows the sweeper can resume work.
Mayor Leo Lutz said the vehicle should resume following the sweeper either later this week or early next week. For the first week, the borough will issue warnings for those vehicles not moved for sweeping, after that grace week, they will be ticketed.
Lutz said the borough is considering changes in the sweeping rotation, but nothing definite has been finalized/

The sweeper does not clean that well, all i ever see is a big dust cloud with it..
The guy following the street sweeper also does crossing guard duty at Locust and 6th Streets and he is going to kill someone yet! He is oblivious to his surroundings and crosses kids when cars are moving. No one knows what the heck to do because he does not have control over the intersection. He needs to go before the Borough has a lawsuit on their hands.
I agree, that guy is not to sharp he is better suited for COUNCIL PRESIDENT.
